Yesterday the GSPCA were called out to a car park near the back of the airport.
The call was originally for a toad but when we arrived we were faced with a large black lizard.
After a little confusion of what species the lizard was it was cleared up by the owner who had been looking for their missing lizard for over 6 weeks.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “There was a little confusion over the species of the stray lizard we had in yesterday, but thankfully the owner came forward.”
“The lovely black lizard is a chuckwalla and had been missing for 6 weeks.”
“It hadn’t travelled very far and thankfully with the weather we have had it is very similar to what it would live with in the wild in Mexico and south west America.”
“If ever your pet goes missing please do get in touch so we can help reunite and we have a online page with helpful information http://gspca.org.gg/services/lost-found-advice .”
“For those looking to adopt a reptile we have a king snake in need of a home and we do get tortoise available from time to time so please do fill in an adoption questionnaire to register your interest.”
